Newcastle Upon Tyne , not known for its romantic countrysides to the wider population but if you delve deep into Newcastle not only will you find the hustle and bustle of the city, but you will have your breath taken away by our sweeping country side, Green fields and ,wealth of history.
in December of this year I was in Throckley just west of Newcastle, which I am regularly but I am often to busy to take in the dramatic landscape. So on a cold Saturday afternoon I grabbed my camera and went scouting for locations to try and take some pictures of this village. the village seems dense with history from the Romans building Hadrian wall which runs through, to the more resent mining community I wanted to capture the essence of this through my lens.

I was very lucky that I had good weather for these pics considering it was the middle of December .on these shots I really wanted to try to get a washed-out look so decided to try a HDR effect to give that luminosity.

Although the landscape was amazing at Throckley I did find subject matter a bit hard to find .But the natural curves of the nature that surrounded me seemed good enough for the type of photo that I was looking to get.

however the sheep's interest in me didn't last long as only 5 or so minutes had passed when the sheep turned their backs on me and returned to grazing .
I would really advise going for a walk in Throckley one day .its a very peaceful and relaxing environment great for a boring Sunday afternoon .Thank you for reading and any comments tips or advice would be much appreciated :)
